Don't 'balance' city budget on backs of everyday Chicagoans

Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveiled his proposed 2015 city budget yesterday. From cutting health benefits for our retired seniors, to imposing regressive taxes on Chicago's working families - the proposed 2015 budget is 'balanced' on the backs of working people.

I believe it's time our Aldermen close corporate tax loopholes and ask millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share, instead of reaching deeper into the pockets of everyday Chicagoans.

I invite you to sign this petition if you agree that our city's budget shouldn't be 'balanced' on the backs of everyday Chicagoans.
